The social psychologist who is best known for his controversial series of studies investigating obedience to authority is:
Roman55 [17]

Answer:    Stanley Milgram

Explanation:  As Stanley Milgram himself stated, the essence of obedience to authority is when a person begins to perceive himself as a tool to fulfil the wishes of the authority, not his own wishes, so he sees all his actions and consequences of these actions as a result of the action of authority, not as a result of his will and responsibility. Milgram based his experiment on the conflict that arises between the state of obedience and the conscience of a person who subordinated to authority. The essence of the experiment concerned the responsibility of those who committed genocide during WWII, who claimed to have been merely obedient, i.e executing the orders of superiors, and based their defense on this claim. This begs the question of whether or not they were complicit in the genocide.

The experiment was performed with pairs of participants where one was a "student" and the other was a "teacher", and where the student was connected to an electroshock electrode. Each time a student would give a wrong answer, the teacher would activate electricity through the electrodes and the student would experience an electric shock. With each wrong answer, the teacher would increase the level of electric shock. There are also some moderation in the experiment, such as a student would make a mistake on purpose, etc.

The conclusion is that ordinary people are generally willing to kill people, even if they are innocent in order to execute the orders of superiors, recognised as authority. It is considered that when it comes to authority, all its orders are justified and legal. So it is moral and proper to follow the orders of authority, whatever it may be.

BARSIC [14]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You are trying to reduce your food intake by skipping lunch for several weeks to lose weight and fit into a favorite outfit. However, by the middle of the afternoon, you are very uncomfortable with the empty feeling in your stomach and feel you "have to eat." This is caused by psychological hunger that incites you to eat.

Psychological hunger is caused by the desire to eat our of habit, you see something "yummy" or you are in the mood more food. So if you are on a diet, it is very important to know the difference between psychological hunger and real physical hunger. If you feel an emptiness in your stomach, is physical hunger. If you just want to eat and do not feel the emptiness and the rumbling in your stomach, then is psychological hunger. Refrain from this.
